Done and Dusted

I managed to finish the control panel this weekend. I had to rout the edges of it to be ready for the t-moulding , and stick the overlay down before i could start on the big task of wiring up all the buttons.
The wiring seemed to go on forever, but I managed to get it all done sunday morning. A few of the wires that lit up the navigation buttons had to be re-done - that had me stumped for a little while.

So its all working well now. The games can all be started , and exited from , by using the triangle buttons , and theres no need to open the keyboard drawer.






Next I just have to print labels to go inside the blue buttons, and some arcade graphics for around the monitor bezel.

Control Panel work started

Well , I've started on the control panel today. I recieved the buttons and wiring from Ozstick the other day. Ive gone for a 2-player design , with navigation buttons in the middle for getting around the frontend , and selecting games.


Tomorrow I will rout the edges for the t-moulding and stick down the overlay, then the fun job of wiring up all the buttons.
